    USA: Affordable alternatives to Harley Benton' array of models (Thunderbird, Hofner, MusicMan)?

    I'm looking for a nice beater bass, and living in the USA all we really have is Guitar Center. I'm not interested in a used affordable Squier or Ibanez or what have you, so please entertain my question, because I'm aware there are those types of alternatives :), because this question revolves...

    Harley Benton Stingray is passive

    I just impulse bought a Harley Benton Sringray copy as all my good basses are in another country for a while. Went with a Stingray so I wasn't buying something I already own a version of, but I didn't realize Stingrays were meant to be active basses. This is the bass I bought and it has...

    NBD! Hb Pb-50 for modding

    I got too caught up in excitement to mod this bass that I completely forgot to take pictures and record sound samples. The bass played great out of the box but was harsh on the high end, but that's probably just the stock strings. But any let's get to the mods: It's going to get a cream or...

    Trace Elliot Boxer 30 vs EBS Classic 30

    Hello everyone! I plan on buying a small amp that is not as heavy as my Peavey TKO 115 (makes my back hurt) but still strong enough for band rehersals. as we really don't play all that loud, i figure that 30w might be quite sufficiant. With my very limited budget in mind, I seem to have found...

    Bass Ukulele / Amp combination

    I was looking for the ultimate portable bass solution for the acoustic jam or campfire experience. The goal was an URB-type sound for folk and bluegrass music, and loud enough to keep up with a couple of acoustic guitars, some singers, or maybe bongos. So I bought a cheap Harley Benton bass...
